Abstract

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 RNA transmission in wastewater has a risk of fecal transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to humans and the environment. Despite the increasing number of cases in almost all areas in Indonesia, the study to review and evaluate waste management resulted from medical facilities is still limited and less explored. This literature review aims to analyze the applicability of WHO guidelines on wastewater management to be implemented in Indonesia. Scientific papers were collected from several electronic databases such as PubMed, PLoS, Researchgate, WHO, Elsevier, Science, SARS-CoV-2, Covid19, and wastewater. The articles were selected based on the inclusion criteria that use SARS-CoV-2, Covid19, and wastewater as the main variables observed. The articles published before 2013 were excluded from this review. Discussion: Wastewater monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 within medical and health facilities is implemented to identify the virus's presence as the causative agent of Covid19 disease, which contaminated the environment and society. The results of the analysis in wastewater can be used to determine the infection control in health facilities while also beneficial in formulating the monitoring of environmental impacts caused by the waste. These efforts would support policies or interventions based on public health by applying social distances, locking, quarantine areas that aim to break the Covid19transmission. Conclusion: Briefly, by considering the urgency of Covid19 pandemic containment and control measures of transmission in health facilities, population and environment. It is a waste management guideline that is highly required to be implemented based on public health aspects.

Abstract

Introduction: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is the disease that spread quickly in tropical and subtropical regions. DHF can spread quickly because the dengue virus is transmitted through the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus into the human body. One of the provinces that felt the impact of the dengue outbreak was East Kalimantan, especially Samarinda City. Efforts to prevent dengue have been attempted by health center officials in Samarinda City. The cause has not yet been effective in controlling DHF programs in Samarinda City because there is no mapping of DHF vulnerable areas. This study aims to map the pattern of DHF distribution in the working area of the health center to maximize the implementation of the DHF control program. Methods: The population in this study were all DHF sufferers registered at the Air Putih Health Center in 2018. Withdrawal samples using total sampling techniques. The analysis used in this study is spatial autocorrelation analysis by Moran’s I. The Moran Index method is used to determine the autocorrelation of the distribution of DHF cases. Result and Discussion: The results of the autocorrelation analysis showed a Z score <-Z α/2, meaning Ho was rejected. This shows that there is spatial autocorrelation in the distribution of DHF in the Health Center. Based on the Moran’s I value (Moran’s I = -0.045850) which has a negative value indicates that the distribution of DHF in the working area of the Health Center tends to spread or dispersed. Conclusion: This study concludes that the more cases of DHF in a densely populated area, the greater the chance of spatial autocorrelation. The closeness between DHF cases can form spatial autocorrelation with the dispersed category.
